The Book DNA Roadmap

What are we building?

A private, personal way to track your reading and get deeply personalized book recommendations.

Think Goodreads, but for readers who want a calm, private space to track what they read, keep notes, and explore books that match their Book DNA (like Spotify or Pandora but for books).

The app is currently in beta, and we are gradually bringing in more beta testers as we add features. We are starting with desktop only to learn quickly and evolve, then adding mobile/tablet apps at a later stage.

Join a small group of passionate readers to shape the future of book discovery? Apply for early access to the beta here.

What will our app do for readers?

We are in beta, and here is what we are working toward.

  • Privately log what you read and why: Track your to-be-read list, what you’re reading, and the books you’ve finished (or DNFed), including your notes and ratings, in a space that’s private by default and fully yours.
  • Keep your reading life organized: Your TBR and reading log stay easy to navigate as they grow, with smart organization built in. You can also use folders to organize everything how you want.
  • Track the book series you are reading, your favorite authors, and never miss a new release: Track the book series you are reading and get alerts when the next book in the series comes out. And the same for your favorite authors.
  • Book recommendations that match your taste: Book DNA learns from what you love and dislike to suggest books that are a better match for you, rather than what happens to be popular.

Here’s what we’re building now, and what’s coming next (click for details).
